mixed media artist’s book
aprox 7″ x 14″
Two tools that I learned at Haystack that I want to build into my art habits are:
-
Use a free write to focus an idea for a project. We used a word or a sentence as prompt and then wrote off the top of our heads for 10 minutes or so. This is not something that I would usually do but I think it will come in handy for some upcoming projects.
-
Choose a small object to draw everyday. Simply draw it, date it and file it away. Sas Colby did this with her “Bunny Series.”
I have a show of gelatin prints coming up in January and the theme is lost and found. I think I will use the free write to find some language to talk about the prints and the theme. I have started drawing an old doll that I had as a kid. She is in pretty rough shape, but I am committed to drawing her each morning.
